Why isn't this charcode working?

[Jimmythegreat]

Hi, i'm kinda new...well, not new but I forgot everything about VB.net that I learned in the past. But onto the problem.

I'm using ChrW(11) to simulate the return key being pressed.
Ex.

main.Text = (Text1.Text + ChrW(11))

and I get (Text1.text)

I searched for chrw(11) on google and it is that symbol, but I saw on this forum that ChrW(11) was a return.

Anyone know a fix or a way? I need it to be:

"(Text1.text)
"

Thanks

use Environment.NewLine

ChrW(11) is a return (a carriage return), but to get a newline you need a return plus a line feed. This is carried over from the mechanical type days. The return sends the carriage back to the left and a line feed also does as its name implies, feeds the paper up one line. By the way, a line feed is Chr(13) so to get a newline you need Chr(11) + Chr(13).

Thanks. Environment.NewLine works perfect. I never knew there was such a thing.

I thought is was 10 and 13?

My bad, it is 10 + 13.
Well no, it's actually Environment.NewLine .
